The SW look cool but the styling is a bit too LOTR dwarven for me. It's rather a lateral movie IMHO from the pre 2010 space wolf stuff.

Pretty sure there was plenty of that sort of armour going around before LOTR movie dwarfs had it.

The space wolves have a more Norse look then the wolf-wolf of the wolf look they been rocking in 40k. I am quite found of it.

The Blog recalcitrantdaze just posted these SW and TS sketches from Mark Bedford:

Also we have some pictures from the sketch book of (the very nice as he let me take pictures of them) Mark Bedford.

Gosh he must be freezing in that! I like these wolf sketches and they seem better than the crap that is the current wolves in all their ridiculousness

I'll go through how I see them:

The Lion: Knight Errant. Almost pure Warlord, but lacking in the real rubber-to-road personal skills that you really need for that (takes after Dad). Arguably the best straight-up 'take this world/system and move on' of the Primarchs, depending on author.
Fulgrim: Bon vivant.
Perturabo: Craftsman.
The Khan: Warlord.
Leman Russ: Raider.
Rogal Dorn: Architect.
Konrad Curze: Prophet.
Sanguinus: 1:1 fighter.
Ferrus Mannus: Tribal elder.
Angron: Gladiator.
Roboute Guilliman: Politician.
Magnus the Red: Scholar.
Horus: Warlord.
Lorgar: Philosopher.
Vulkan: Wise man.
Corax: Assassin.
Alpharius: Spy/secret police/spy.

I think each of them would have been happier (or at least less likely to fall) in those roles. Few if any of them really are born to and cherish warfare except as a means to an end.

New stuff ...

Very, very nice. I especially like how the missile launcher can be modelled as deployed or stowed, as I really like the look when it's folded down.

Big fella

Hmmm not sure about the claw hands on it =/
Cool otherwise though, the head/face is cool.

Glorious! Ave Omnissiah!

*sigh* just stop it already FW, just fething stop it (no, no, really don't ) Never gonna clear my backlog at this rate

The Dominar is £48 each. The maniple is £144, you save £0.

Forgeworld, your bundle discounts were always so sweet!

Hnnnngh.... must resist buying awesome robots!

*fails and throws money at screen*

...I needed that money for Word Bearers...

The Domitar is awesome looking. The cabling on the back is sick.

Not necessarily. I was pretty surprised when I saw the model on the right in person as it was roughly in between an ogryn and a dreadnought but significantly smaller than the plastic 40k robot released a year or two ago. I'm guessing the new, larger 30k one is actually the size of the 40k plastic robot.

Think the new bot will have 40k rules?

Why aren't you the warlord titan parts!

Most likely not. But we won't know for sure until the next IA drops.

In a similar sentiment:

Why aren't you the Thousand Sons Achaen upgrades?

I feel like your scaling is a little off. The Domitar looks like it'll be larger than the Kastelan.

Is it just me, or is scale creep becoming more prevalent in GW models these days?

Everything seems to be getting even bigger, even some of the bases were increased in size for some models.

Like many GW bundles, this one saves you time - you ingrate!

Thanks for the pic. I quick matched the size of the older FW robot (the name escapes me at the moment) in both pics. The older FW one is smaller than the Kastelan but the new one is noticeably larger.

It looks like it'll only be a wee bit shorter than the Thanatar, but much less bulky. Certainly the Ferrox variant will make a fitting bodyguard for Perturabo...

It's a lovely model. I am more excited for the Iron Circle version.

I feel like they might release the Secutarii next Friday...

Last Friday was HH6, now it's the Domitar, perhaps they will continue the AdMech trend?

The humanoid fingers and hands of the Domitar are much more reminiscent of the Thallax, while the Castellax and Thanatar share a sort of pneumatic claw hand design. I wonder if, in addition to the Ferrum-class for IH, they'll have a close combat variant for the Mechanicum?
